Every initiated member serves on a committee in my chapter, but new initiates usually choose the more uncomplicated committees (t-shirt,formal, etc) first, and then slowly move up to more involved ones like COB, formal recruitment, ritual, etc. As far as officers, we have a sophomore serving as our Treasurer and she does a fabulous job. It simply depends on the motivation level of the younger member.
I don't think freshmen in officer positions is a good idea personally because they still have alot to learn about just being a MEMBER without the added responsibility of learning to be an officer. A highly motivated sophomore should definitely have the opportunity to serve if she wants.
